She has total control of her life until the man she once loved and lost suddenly reappears. Jan, who Elsa believed to be dead, is in town to perform at the Festival with his Czech dance orchestra. Initially, Elsa wants to stay away from Jan and especially from the Festival which for her is another attempt by the International Communists to brainwash citizens of Western countries such as Finland. But Jan is persistent, persuasive, and charming. The intoxicating blend of hot August nights, music, dance and the political paranoia of the Age of the Iron Curtain forms the circumstances in which Elsa has to make her fi nal choice. Will she yield to the wishes of the Finnish Police, who, under pressure from the KGB, wants her to track down a Czechoslovakian defector or will she opt for an entirely new life herself? Ingrid has become blind and refuses to go out. She gets the feeling her husband is there, observing her without her knowing. Elin, newly divorced, lies to her daughter to hide her loneliness – across the street a man is watching her through the window…A dark, humorous and surprising fi lm about our most private fears and fantasies.

Our heroine does not stop to ask herself this question – she is far too busy living her adventure, her quest for the stars. Fuelled by a promise to her dead father to follow her dream, Sepideh spends her days studying astronomy and her nights watching the stars. But reality is kicking in: The family is out of money – and her uncle blames her for spending time and money on astronomy instead of working the family’s farmland. Not wanting to lose her dream, Sepideh throws a last ball of hope when sending an e‐mail to her idol, Anousheh Ansari, asking for help. Little does she think she’ll ever get an answer back from the World’s first female space tourist. That is until one day the phone rings… From Göran Hugo Olsson comes a new fi lm based on the classic book “The Wretched of the Earth” by Franz Fanon. Written 50 years ago, the text is a major tool for understanding and illuminating the neocolonialism happening today, as well as the unrest and the reaction against it. Concerning Violence is created from newly discovered, powerful archive footage, covering the most daring moments in the struggle for liberation in the Third World. It will take the experiences from The Black Power Mixtape further to create a visual narrative from Africa – images of the pursuit of freedom, the Cold War and Sweden. BERIT MADSEN.

The intense love story leads to them moving in together and Sari introduces Teppo to her son Rhamadhani. Teppo has dreamt about parenthood, but Rhamadhani is black. Getting used to living together demands a considerable effort from both Teppo and Rhamadhani. The situation becomes even more complex when Sari is bound to bed rest during her pregnancy and Teppo has to take care of Rhamadhani. Harri, Teppo’s neo-Nazi younger brother, is kicked out of the army and he moves into Teppo’s and Rhamadhani’s home without asking.

Finally Teppo has a choice to make: stick with his ideology or lose everything that is dear to him. Erika has it all: a good job, lots of friends and a secure relationship. Until the day it all falls apart. Suddenly this perfect life means nothing, and the feelings she once was able to control are no longer within reach. She starts going to group therapy and meets other people with different kinds of traumas. One day a question is raised within the group: Why shouldn’t we be allowed to feel good?

Their two significant others, Ira and Andrew, are involuntarily pulled into the scenario. Tension and jealousies build as new alliances form and childhood patterns resurface. As days grow darker and the nights more disturbing, Kaia is forced to confront Christine, as well as herself, before she drifts too far into their dangerous relationship. Then Christine goes missing… There is a price to having it all. Monica, a young, rebellious small town girl is determined to make it as a singer in the vibrant jazz clubs of Stockholm, and even New York City, in the sixties. Beautiful and sensual, she embarks on the singing career of her dreams, and an exquisite singer and actress evolves in the golden era of jazz. But behind all the glamour, Monica struggles to face the dark side of fame and success. As late nights of working and partying keep playing a bigger part in her life, the walls around her begin to shake. With a string of broken love affairs, a father she can never please, and a daughter to whom she’ll never be the perfect mother, Monica finds herself feeling more lost than ever. And when the morning breaks, she’s alone, with a cocktail in her hand. Is this a road with no turning back? “Sleepwalkers perform activities as benign as sitting up in bed, walking to the bathroom, cleaning and having sex but also violent gestures or even homicide, often with little or no memory of the incident” MONA FASTVOLD.

This year we focus on the latest trends in Scandinavian TV, both in content and viewership as well as on what makes a successful drama series. We will also present the current TV support in the film agreements of Sweden, Denmark and Norway as well as works in progress of “Crimes of Passion” (TV4, Sweden) and “Øyonvitne” (NRK, Norway). Welcome to TV Drama Vision 2013! In the beginning of February 2013 the long-awaited report on the creative sector in Sweden will be published. One of the case studies, written by Bengt Toll, former BIOPALATSET6 10.30–12.00 CEO of the Swedish Film Institute, looks at the prerequisites for a real growth on all levels within the Swedish Film Industry. That is the backdrop to this seminar in which Bengt Toll discuss his findings with film experts Mike Gubbins and Peter Buckingham who will take the issues further. The seminar aims to cut to the real issue for producers in an on-demand age –making money and, more specifically, creating sustainable businesses. It will look very specifically at evidence of consumer choices and behaviour today and emerging patterns of demand that will allow producers to find new forms of revenue, through extending the reach of products, engaging audiences in new and sustainable ways, or by fresh forms of cross-media exploitation of intellectual property.

In 2008 we created a special forum for talented filmmakers who are at the starting point of their careers, Nordic Film Lab. Producers, screenwriters and directors from Denmark, Norway and Sweden get together and over one year’s time they meet for in-depth discussions about the art of filmmaking, creativity and each others films. At the end of this Nordic Film Lab-year they now – for the first time – get the opportunity to present themselves and their upcoming projects to you, the film industry. With a special thanks to our partners, we are proud and happy to wish you a warm welcome to the very first Nordic Film Lab Discovery!
